Profile:
The younger brother of CK Nayudu, `CS' was a leading cricketer in his
own right in the thirties and forties. In his main role as a leg spin
googly bowler, he spun the ball a great deal. He was also a capable
late order batsman and a fine field in the country. He was a tower of
strength to various teams in the Ranji Trophy for more than 25 years,
scoring 2575 runs (30.20) and taking 295 wickets (23.49) - the latter
a record till Tamil Nadu's VV Kumar, another leg spinner, surpassed it
in 1970-71. He took 14 wickets in a match once and twice captured more
than 30 wickets in a season - which given the few matches played in
the formative years of the national competition was a commendable
feat. He also holds the record of bowling more balls in one match than
any other bowler in first class cricket - 152.5 overs (917 balls) for
Holkar against Bombay in the Ranji Trophy final of 1944-45.
Unfortunately, Nayudu's Test career was disappointing. He played two
Tests in 1933-34 and was not picked for the 1936 tour of England. Sent
as a reinforcement, he played two Tests. He toured England again in
1946, playing in two more Tests. On the 1947-48 tour of Australia he
played in four Tests. He was brought back to play his last Test
against England at Kanpur in 1951-52. In almost all the Tests, he was
unable to control line and length and was treated rather harshly. He
is one cricketer whose Test record does not compare favourably with
his first class record, which over a 30 year period brought him some
5600 runs including three centuries and over 600 wickets.(Partab Ramchand)
